Free Crochet Slouchy Hat Pattern

Textured Slouch crochet hat

Even if you live in warmer parts of the world, December still makes you want to crochet warm, cozy projects. I wanted to design a hat that looked chunky and fun. Creating texture with crochet has really intrigued me lately. How wonderful that this craft allows us so much versatility? I think this free crochet slouchy hat pattern looks so comfy and I really enjoy the knit look. I made one for me but my ten year old daughter immediately wanted one too. The pattern for my slouchy crochet hat comes in two sizes now: S/M: big kid – teen and M/L adult woman.

Why I like this free crochet slouchy hat pattern

I love the knit look and I especially love how easy this pattern achieves it. The hat is fun and comfy looking. It’s suited for kids, teens and adults alike. Crochet this as a beginner and learn how to crochet into back loops!

Pattern notes

You will work in rows going back and forth and make a rectangle that is then connected with a slip stitch. This back and forth makes sizing really simple. You can always add more rows at the end to fit a larger head circumference. I do recommend making a gauge swatch first because the length of your starting chain will determine how slouchy your hat will be! Please note that when you start your foundation chain you should leave a long tail. This will cinch the top together at the end.

*Row 5: slst into un-worked fl of row 3, ch 1, hdc into fl of Row 3 until last 5 st, sc into last 5 fl of Row 3 to end, turn

Row 6: work same as Row 2

Row 7: work same as Row 3
